Elizabeth Ann Robinson, resident of Hampton Bays and Southampton, died on January 27, 2017. She was 80.

Elizabeth Ann “Beth” Ramsbottom was born in Southampton on February 3, 1936. She attended Sacred Hearts School in Southampton and the Academy of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Sag Harbor. In 1957, she married Russell D. Robinson Jr. and moved to Hampton Bays, where they ran a construction and property management business. Mrs. Robinson continued running a portion of the business after their divorce in 1971.

In her later years, she worked as a nanny for a number of Southampton and Sag Harbor families.

Mrs. Robinson was predeceased by her ex-husband in 2001. She is survived by a brother, Douglas Ramsbottom; a sister, Janice Barr; and her five children, Elizabeth Weinstock, Janice Wilson and husband Charles, Russell Robinson, Faith Minton, and Sean Robinson and wife Natalie; and eight grandchildren, Christopher Pelatti, Ashley and Joshua Weinstock, Michael and Melissa Wilson, Jeffery Robinson, and Scott and Emily Robinson; and two great-grandchildren, Annamarie Robinson and Dylan Phelps.

A memorial Mass was held at the Basilica of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Southampton on February 3, followed by private interment at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Cemetery in Southampton.

Memorial donations may be made to Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School in Riverhead, or Our Lady of the Hamptons Regional Catholic School in Southampton.

She said the DEC has “significant rules and regulations regarding commercial and recreational fishing in the state.” It currently has an annual quota of 150,000 horseshoe crabs that can be taken.
